Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Playing Combat Girl and upgrading the 2 base skills and the cats is waaaaaay more fun than I thought it would be. Before, I was putting all my points into HADOKEN!, but throwing down 4 kittybots and healing while moving them around is more fun, and more beneficial to my team.

A lot of folks (including me) stand by the "glass cannon" skill system, which is for instance on assault, levelling up TNT>Offense>NOTHING(to save the point for level 4)>TNT and Offense> Fly > Fly > NOTHING > Tnt and Offense> Defense > whatever

I always skip 3 and 7 unless I'm losing badly and need defense...

I'm not sure what a good skill buying guide is for CG, maybe maybe just crank up Beam and Kitties?

if you learn good placement, I've seen some devastating kitty/fortify focused CGs.

I prefer offense/laser for full team carrying/lane pushing power.
I used to take the 2nd kitty at level one, but now I wait until 4/5 so I have it just in time for the first anni.

speaking of carrying teams, the matchmaking has apparently decided once again that I am skilled enough to carry a team of 0 and 15+ feeders against a full team of good players. fucking 4 games in a row of this shit. in 25 years of gaming, never have I been so close to standing up and smashing my keyboard into a billion fucking pieces on the wall.

Teaming up with people you know seems like it would be much less frustrating. There was a team of a assassin and a megabeth that destroyed me three games in a row. I think I'd like to do that. Not good enough yet though.

I bet two full teams of people you know who are good would be the best.

They are constantly tuning it ever since it was released. What do you think is wrong with it?

I've had far more one sided roll games since they introduced matchmaking since when it was completely random =0

That aside my main beef now is that west coasters are too stupid to play on the west coast server. I go to play, east coast server? 2500 people, west? 3. And i ping 60 to west and 160 to east so ..yeah. at that point i say fuck it and go back to LoL

Even when I was on the losing side most of the team, we fought our way to victory. It was a tough road, but in the end when we won, i enjoyed making fun of the enemy team and sending them to loser town.
